Dental fillings are materials that restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structures. Dental fillings help repair tooth cavities. They help protect the tooth from further decay and maintain its normal function.
Step-by-step treatment procedure for Dental fillings at Coral Dental Implants
The dentist examines the tooth and may take X-rays to determine the extent of the decay.
The dentist gives local anaesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure the procedure is pain-free.
The dentist uses a drill, air abrasion instrument, or laser to remove the decayed part of the tooth.
The dentist will clean the area to remove bacteria and debris. If the decay is near the root, the dentist might place a liner to protect the nerve.
The dentist will apply the filling material in layers.
Once the filling is in place, the dentist shapes it to fit the tooth’s contour and polishes it to prevent staining and wear.
